Iran-Israel attack: A turning point for the Middle East?

All eyes on Israel's response to Iran drone and missile attacks.

Israel says 99% of the missiles and drones fired by Iran on Saturday night were intercepted without hitting their targets. Iran said the assault was in response to a deadly attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria two weeks ago. Now all eyes are on how Israel will respond to Iran's unprecedented move. James Reynolds talks to the 大象传媒鈥檚 Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, who says the attack marks 鈥渁 whole new chapter鈥 in the relations between Iran and Israel. James is also joined by the 大象传媒鈥檚 security correspondent Gordon Corera, and Siavash Ardalan from 大象传媒 Persian, to discuss how the players at the centre of this confrontation might decide their next move.
